Weekend with friends

Saturday, September 26, 2009

I hardly have time to catch up with friends these days but I do try harder nowadays. It's easier when my son is already 2 years old, versus the time when he was just a couple month old baby. Having said that, it's also not easy handling a Terrible-Two when out in public. You just never know when he decides to act up and be a Terrible-Two!

Anyway, we caught up with a friend whom we've not seen for a year. It was a pretty short session at an ice cream shop but we had a good time chatting and just catching up with each other's lives. After having shared our updates, I feel like we've all come such a long way and we have changed in terms of what we prioritise in our lives. I guess that's bound to happen as you move from one stage of life to another.

It was all very serious conversation, about our jobs, our plans for the future, what we dream for and all. But it all took a turn to be a laughing matter when we touched on the topic of someone's tummy looking a lot larger than before. Since we're good friends, there's really no offence in talking straight to each other. See this is the kind of friendship I enjoy, where you know the person so well and you can just have straight talks without worrying too much. We can even go at length talking about top rated weight loss pills to take for that someone to get rid of that unsightly layer on the tummy!
My point is that having close friends is such a blessing and comfort in life when all around us can be quite scary. I do want to meet up more with friends and have more feel-good sessions just talking and laughing. Maybe I should make it a new year resolution to do this.
